    Hello all.

    I run a forum called OzCommunity.com, an Australian Forum.
    recently i have decided to make a forum theme for the site, make it more appealing etc than the basic vbulletin one.
    there are still a few bugs with the theme, probably some i havent found, so if you spot one.
    mainly i am wanting feedback on the theme, does it look good, attractive, usable etc etc.

    any help is helpful :p

    regards
    chris.

    Hi,

    I think the colors are perfect, very unique and memorable.

    There are 3 things that I would probably do:
    - Add a line of text above the shoutbox (on the homepage only) saying welcome to the forum and just what the site is about, then put a link for people to register quickly
    - Try and integrate some social bookmark links into the forum so you can get free exposure from members bookmarking threads.
    - Instead of having the "recent threads" on the homepage change it to the actual forum.

    Definitely a great forum! Regards, Satch. :)

    interesting things to consider.
    the idea of having a line of text, with info and register, i am pretty sure i used to have it on old design, just haven't put it back.
    social bookmarking is a good idea, may not get many members as majority of viewers on these sites probably aint australian but still a good idea, works for popularity i guess.
    instead of recent threads have the forums, do you mean have all the categories listed there?

    thanks for the kinds comments.
